What is it? Set 271

No, that would be Tang and Russian Vodka, first invented during the Apollo-Soyuz mission.

Another tough set, but most of them were answered correctly:

1537. Looks like part of an automatic screw gun. Did there look like there was provision for a hose to blow a fastener into unit?

The answer for this one is that it's a can opener for use by an astronaut, and I didn't notice a provision for a hose on it.

Rob

The bit in the middle looked a lot like a torx driver. If there isn't a hose fitting my thought doesn't apply.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I love your posts.

I clean a lot of used keyboards. I stand them up on the end and spray a fine mist of household ammonia to cut the grime. Sometimes it takes several tries, because they are really nasty. Then I use a mist of water to flush the loose crud from the keys & case. I usually do them

10 at a time, then let them dry for a week, but they can be used almost immediately. That depends on how much you spray on one.

Put keyboards in the dishwasher let them dry for a few days and good as new.

Not having a dishwasher I take them apart, clean them in the shower, dry them and put them back together. Karl

I don't have, or want a dishwasher. It takes a couple minutes per keyboard, and doesn't require any disassembly.

I've found that the problem is usually not the keyboard. The wires in back have to be tightened just right. Sometimes the felt has to be reattached to the hammers. Whatever you do, don't try to carry it by yourself. (I learned that the hard way!)

Yeah, I have to rebuild the Hammond B3 at my church, because they let the bearings run dry. I figure it'll take four people to move it, while I stand back & supervise. There is no way that I'm going to try, with just one good hand, and a cane. :(

They let a motor overheat in one of the Leslie speakers, as well. Now I have to find a replacement for a custom 50 year old motor and replace the dry rotted rubber covered cables. Luckily, I downloaded the schematics a few years ago. No all I have to do is find them again. :(

Someone else can fix the piano.
